Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Friends of Carlton Hill
Registered Charity Number: 1079326
For the year ended 31 August 2025
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
As the charity’s trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in accordance with the Directions given by the Charity Commission.
My examination was carried out in accordance with the Charity Commission’s guidance. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Independent Examiner:
Name: Henry Sumner
Signature: _________ Date: 7[th] June 2026
